AudioAddict Radio (Storeman) bad audio

Applications
1

Hi, I am a heavy listener to DI.FM and have been searching for a good way to listen to it on my C2 device. Found app AudioAddict Radio which seems to handle DI.FM among other similar services.
Everything works like a charm, install, log in and pick my service (which I am premium customer to). But when I start a channel the audio is semi broken. It has distortions and is a bit laggy.
The app itself has not been updated since 2020-10-26.

So what is my purpose by creating this topic? I am curious to where to start looking into the audio issue. Since the app handles everything and starts streaming, it should be an issue with perhaps Pulseaudio? Can someone navigate me, or help me search for the issue?

I would really love to be able to do it on my own, but my knowledge is limited in this.

Sounds similar to this issue:

Does it remain laggy or just at the beginning ?

Is it a native app ?

4

Use Deadbeef-Silica App, it offers rock solid streaming of Audio.

This is the App I am referring to:

It is a native app. @fingus How do you mean that I should use another streaming app? I kinda need to find a solution to my service already paid for. Did I misunderstand anything?

6

And the audio is “choppy”, low bitrate and perhaps a bit out of sync. Going slow and suddenly going faster and so on

7

He meant install other deadbeed app and connect ..

Hm not really sure how to get the stream link into another player.

I checked Storeman, and it looks like there is no version available for C2?

Installed audioadict on c2, wont start

Ok, starts from cmdline
But without account, .. cant test much

10

Installed deadbeef fork from carmen (openrepos)
Then try add location

Does it sound like this issue Playback Stutters · Issue #2 · monofox/harbour-audioaddict · GitHub ?

Tidal player used to stutter on first song too.
Now not, changes were: python-tidal update and switching to amber-mpris
Maybe amber would help. Nemo.. Mpris is obsoleted anyway

In channelpage.qml

Org.nemomobile.mpris …

Else seems like a simple tiny app, should be easy to update and compile and update against a fresher target

I am unable to install. Just get “unable to install”

Feels kind of tricky

14

you mean deadbeef ?

15

Yes, cannot install..Hm

16

@pawel.spoon But you mean that the app could be compiled with a player that actually works?

DeadBeef is a dead end for me unfortunately. Will not install

17

I had also problems when installing it back then, this direction should work (install from down to top)

i can try it on sunday evening.

if it helps id suggest you take over the maintenance of the app

@fingus I tried, also through console. Doesn’t work.

@pawel.spoon Would be awesome! Not really sure what the maintenance part means, but since I am commited to the streaming service and Sailfish. Why not?

I understand that you got that error in Storeman when trying to install deadbeef-silica from my repository, right? In other words, you have added my repository, but you cannot install it from Storeman. Why don’t you try it from Terminal?
If you try from Terminal, we can see what error occurs, because “unable to install” doesn’t say anything. Do you have Terminal enabled?
If you do, open Terminal and run the following:
devel-su pkcon refresh
devel-su pkcon install deadbeef-silica
